"Today Our attention is directed to one of the most common of them (abuses), one of the most difficult to eradicate, and the existence of which is sometimes to be deplored in places where everything else is deserving of the highest praise; the beauty and sumptuousness of the temple, the splendor and the accurate performance of the ceremonies, the attendance of the clergy, the gravity and piety of the officiating ministers. Such is the abuse affecting sacred chant and music."- St. Pius X, Pope

With Elizabeth Scalia - Error, sentimentality and emotionalism come before the facts

Let’s just say I usually never read Elizabeth
Scalia or any of the Catholic writers at Aleteia or worse, Pathetic, I mean
Patheos.

However, this I did read because of a link I
came across. It has to do with Scalia’s views on Mo Rocca’s reading of Holy Scripture
at Mass on Saturday in the presence of Pope Francis. Rocca, a Catholic, is a
quasi-celebrity and out and proud sodomite activist who dissents from Catholic
teaching on morality.

Remember that by clicking and reading her whole story you give her another penny. However, if you must, you can read what Scalia writes at this link or you can use Do Not Link to the right. http://www.donotlink.com/framed?786226.

Encountering Mo Rocca at the Ambo

When openly gay tv-newsman Mo Rocca ... "an
unrepentant sodomite” ... papal event,
much less a Mass?” That’s right Elizabeth, “an unrepentant
sodomite” and a perfectly correct term. Sodomy and “sodomite” are the words
used in Scripture and history. The word homosexual is just over a century old
and “gay” means happy and joyful. He dissents from Church teaching and he does
so publicly which is enough reason to disqualify him from an “official” and
certainly a “liturgical” role in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Attending is
another matter and receiving Holy Communion is the same for him as the rest of
us, after Confession and Penance with a firm purpose of amendment of life! Well, ... “whoever was still
holding the rolodex from .. He
had emcee’d Benedict’s youth rally ... had not yet “come
out” as gay. He had not “come out” and whilst is sexual sins may have been
known by some, and thus the same factors would apply, he had not made them
public so the public “scandal” did not exist. ...Rocca’s appearance
at the ambo – whether by design or happenstance or the arcane workings of the
Holy Spirit So, the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Most
Holy Trinity picked Mo? Are you serious? A “culture of encounter” demands that we see
the whole person before us, not simply an ideology, or a category of social
standing, or even as a unit of sin, but as a whole person, Yes, but they
don’t take an official liturgical role at Mass! the conversion, the turning of heart and
soul, came from meeting Christ. ... But they were not permitted
to enter into the Holy of Holies and sprinkle blood were they, even if they
were of the Tribe of Levi! None of that is effective evangelization;
none of it begets the encounter. Reading at the Mass is
not about evangelisation. That comes with “Ite missa est” Do you even know what
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is? ... he refrained from receiving Holy Communion, You don’t know that, nor do I and that is
between him and God. ... Nothing prevents a
Catholic – any Catholic – from engaging in parish life, or from licitly
participating in the Mass; It was "llicit." No, we are also not permitted to engage in official liturgical
functions whilst being a public dissenter, there is a difference between this
and one’s private sins! Obedience ... What about the obedience to Catholic morality? ... Pharisee. Because everyone that upholds Church teaching is a Pharisee.

Really
Elizabeth, you get paid for this bovine excrement?I believe that I am under 300 words.Have a great day.

All we need to do is change the sin of homosexuality to: murder, rape, pedophila and we see how deep the homosexual brainwashing has affected Catholics. Can you imagine the uproar if an unrepentant serial rapist had been chosen as lector? Can you imagine anyone standing up to defend the selection of an unrepentant serial rapist? And yet, according to God the sin of homosexuality of worse than the sin of rape. God decides, not us.

All we need to do is change the sin of homosexuality to: denying someone their just wages, oppression of the poor and we see how deep the Americanist, capitalist brainwashing has affected traditionalist Catholics. Can you imagine the silence if an unrepentant owner of a sweatshop in Bangladesh had been chosen as lector? Can you imagine traditionalists standing up to condemn the selection of an unrepentant sweatshop owner? And yet, according to God, like sodomy the sins of oppression of the poor and denying a worker of their just wages are sins that cry to heaven for vengeance. God decides, not us.

Well done! It's nice to see someone take down that self-appointed Dispenser of Pastoral Wisdom Ms. Scalia. Interesting that her editor, Ms Caldwell apparently, came flying to her rescue with a laughable claim to copyright! I suppose it really is all about the money for some bloggers? It's a pity, considering how often they seem to reach for the "Pharisee" label when addressing their critics; if it was one thing the actual Pharisees at the time of Christ loved, it was money. At any rate, keep up the good fight! Correct the erring, with just the same degree of firmness and kindness that St. Jerome habitually employed.

"...the great movement of apostasy being organized in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church which shall have neither dogmas, nor hierarchy, neither discipline for the mind, nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world (if such a Church could overcome) the reign of legalized cunning and force, and the oppression of the weak, and of all those who toil and suffer. [...] Indeed, the true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries, nor innovators: they are traditionalists."
